The Hawks (38-43) dropped into a tie with Miami for the eighth and final Eastern Conference playoff spot. Both trail New Jersey (39-42), which finishes its season on Saturday against Orlando. The Nets would make the playoffs by beating Orlando, or if either Atlanta or Miami lose on Sunday. The Hawks finish at Cleveland and Miami is at Boston. If Miami and Atlanta end in a tie, the Heat would advance to the playoffs on the basis of more wins against conference opponents.

Houston saw its lead over the Los Angeles Lakers in the race for the final Western Conference playoff berth shrink to a half-game.

They are West Virginia, Mississippi, Kentucky, Arkansas, Tennessee, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, more- than 12 million Americans used smokeless tobacco last year, and 14 percent were between ages 12 and 17.

Health officials blame smokeless tobacco for increasing the risk of oral cancer. Ward Hubbell, a spokesman for the Smokeless Tobacco Council in Washington, said the trade group maintains that smokeless tobacco has not been proven to cause human disease. Regarding the campaign announced Monday, Hubbell said: "The smokeless tobacco industry categorically does not want anyone under the age of 18 using its products." Hubbell said the industry distributes information to authority figures, such as teachers and sports coaches, stressing that smokeless tobacco is an adult product. "Smokeless tobacco is not for kids," he said. But Craig Stotts, a National Cancer Institute researcher who is preparing a report on smokeless tobacco use, said boys most often begin using the product around age 13.

He also noted a significant portion of boys start earlier. About 4 percent to 6 percent of the current users began when they were around 8 years old or younger, Stotts said. BOSTON (AP) Little League baseball players often dream of hitting-a home run to win the World Scries, but there's one part of the game league officials would like them to forget chewing tobacco. With studies showing more youngsters dipping into smokeless tobacco, U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Louis Sullivan announced a campaign Monday to discourage kids from the habit.

"Unfortunately, the association of baseball and tobacco use goes back virtually to the beginning of the game," Sullivan said in a speech to the Little League International Congress, meeting in Boston this week. Little League officials joined Sullivan in announcing the program, which will distribute brochures to boys ages 10 to 12 who play in the baseball leagues. The brochures will describe smokeless tobacco as both unattractive and unhealthy. Similar brochures will be given to girls who play in Little League baseball's softball divisions. Studies show girls don't use smokeless tobacco as much as boys, but the brochures will ask the girls to speak to the boys about their habit "At Little League, we are concerned with the product's association with the game of baseball and are determined to educate our children to spitting tobacco's deleterious effects," said Creighton Hale, president of Little League.

The anti-tobacco campaign will target 11 states that officials say show the highest rates of smokeless 1 Only New Demo Safety Education YFM200 Four stroke, shaft drive, electric start, full suspension, no remaining factory warranty.
